Description of content and objectives

Confindustria Lombardia, in collaboration with Confindustria Brescia and ARPA Lombardia, is holding an environmental training course on inspections for industrial businesses in Lombardy subject to Integrated Environmental Authorisation (IEA) on 12 November (10:30 - 12:30).

Since 1 January 2008, the Lombardy Provinces and the Metropolitan City of Milan – in accordance with Article 8, paragraph 2 of Regional Law 24/2006 – have been the Competent Authorities for the issuance, renewal, and review of the Integrated Environmental Authorisation (AIA), excluding authorisations under regional jurisdiction.

ARPA Lombardia – pursuant to Article 8, paragraph 4 of the same Regional Law 24/2006 – exercises control functions regarding compliance with the technical requirements contained in authorisations for industrial and energy production plants, specifically verifying the conformity of the technologies adopted and the proper management of the facilities.

The course aims to support operators of industrial installations subject to AIA in preparing adequately for inspections and site visits, by providing an in-depth look at ARPA Lombardia's inspection activities and the various stages of an inspection, with particular attention to site visits, required documentation, and the relationship between the inspected party and the inspector.
